Chapter 501 There Is Always A Way Out
Nina''s lips were moving slightly. John leaned in and put his ear close to her mouth. He heard her calling
his name again.
Even though her eyes were still closed, he could not help smiling.
"Wake up, my little girl." He closed his eyes and nted a soft kiss on her brow. A tear escaped from
his left eye, ran down to the tip of his nose, and finally dropped on Nina''s pale face.
His hot tear seemed to reach Nina in her dreams. Her finger twitched.
"Did you see that? She moved." Surprised and overjoyed, Vicente turned around. "I''ll call the doctor."
On her way out, she ran into Leon who was with a nurse.
"Leon, Nina''s finger moved just now! And she called...that name." Vicente nced at the nurse and
immediately corrected herself.
When John heard the sound of the door swinging open, he stepped away from Nina and stood aside.
"Her finger moved? And she called out that name?" Leon asked Vicente, still unable to believe it.
Vicente nodded, "Yes, it''s true. I saw and heard it myself."
Then, the nurse said, "The doctor says that Princess Nina is not in a vegetative state. She''s just
sleeping, which means she still can perceive what''s going on around her and react ordingly.
It''s like when we have dreams. If the temperature is too low, we will feel cold in our dreams and try to
find a quilt."
"What? Have we rejoiced too soon?" The smile on Vicente''s face gradually disappeared, and she
looked a little depressed.
The nurse said softly, "Don''t be sad. This is a good thing. We weren''t expecting Princess Nina to
respond like this given her bizarre condition. This can only mean that she''s not far from waking up now.
We should introduce more external stimuli to draw out her responses, preferably things and people that
she cares about the most."
Vicente turned her gaze at John and said, "She can''t even remember what she cares about the most."
"She''s a new mother of twins, isn''t she? There''s nothing stronger than the bond between a mother and
her children. Bring her kids to her, and it''ll increase her chances of waking up." The nurse walked to
Nina''s bedside and gently took her hand.
Vicente walked over and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I''m going to draw some blood. We need it to run more tests." With a series of fluid, calcted
movements, the nurse grabbed a syringe and carefully prepped Nina''s arm.
"Be gentle. She may be asleep, but she still can feel pain." Vicente watched as the nurse caught Nina''s
vein on the first prick. Bright red blood rushed through the needle and filled up the clear tube. Then, the
nurse expertly removed the tourniquet, pulled out the needle, and pressed a clean cotton ball on the
injection site.
"Count Nangong, please do me a favor and press the cotton ball on the princess''s arm. I have to go
take the blood for testing."
"All right." Vicente took the nurse''s ce and held the cotton ball in ce. She also held Nina''s cold
hand and tried her best to ignore the little blood that had started seeping into the swab.
Leon''s eyes never left the nurse. Even if he had already thoroughly investigated every doctor and
nurse in charge of taking care of his sister, he still could never be too careful.
"We should get Van and Don here. They should be here for their mother," Leon said, watching the
nurse walk away.
Silence once again reigned in the ward, but it was soon broken by a ringing phone.
Vicente took out her phone and stared at the screen. "It''s Noah. He must have been trying to reach
Nina for the past couple of days. He must be worried sick."
When John heard Noah''s name, a hint of coldness shed through his dark eyes. He red at Vicente.
When Vicente turned around to answer the phone, she felt a shiver run down her spine.
"Vicente, I''ve been trying to reach Nina, but she''s not answering. Is everything all right? Did something
happen to her?"
"She got stressed out a few days ago and was hospitalized. We''re here with her right now. She is still
asleep."
"Asleep? How many days has she been asleep?"
"How do you know that?" Astonishment wrote itself all over Vicente''s face. She turned around and
nced at Nina. "She''s been asleep for three or four days."
"Ford gave me the documents about M.C., including some experimental data. I already bought an air
ticket. I''m on my way to C Ind."
"Really? You got the documents? Thank God!" Vicente suddenly raised her voice.
Her tone attracted John''s attention. He slowly walked over to Vicente and asked, "What documents?"
"Ford gave Noah the documents of M.C.,plete with experimental logs and everything. There''s
always a way out," Vicente said in a daze. When she saw John''s eyebrows slightly smooth out, she
smiled.
"Noah, get those documents here as soon as you can. Leon has pooled a group of world-renowned
experts to go through them." Vicente almost burst into tears of joy. Everything just felt so surreal right
now. "Do you really have the documents, Noah?" she asked again.
"Yes. We''ll talk about it when I get there. I have to get on the ne."
"Okay. Take care of yourself and those documents. Don''t lose them. I have to go. I''ll see you soon."
After hanging up the phone, Vicente said excitedly, "This is great. This is really great. John, have you

heard what I just said?"
"Yes." John walked over to Nina''s bed and sat down beside her. He kissed the back of her hand and
said in a trembling voice, "Little girl, there is always a way out."
Nina''s fingers slightly moved again at John''s kiss, and her eyshes fluttered twice. Even if she did not
open her eyes, the expectations in John''s heart were growing.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Count Nangong, it''s Demi." Demi''s voice called from outside the ward.
Vicente said briskly, "Demi,e in."
d in a tight-fitting ck dress, Demi entered the ward. A limited edition designer bag hung from her
arm with the corner of a piece of paper peeking through the top.
Demi was recently badly injured in the car ident. She just got discharged from the hospital a week
ago. She had made a full recovery, but the ident had left a nasty scar on her neck. Her silk scarf did
a splendid job of covering it up.
"Count Nangong, this is the final project n that needs your signature." Demi took out the n from
her bag and handed it over to Vicente together with a pen.
Vicente took the n and read it on the sofa. "Have a seat, Demi."
"All right." Demi put down her handbag and sat elegantly in front of her boss.
The project was of great importance to Vicente, so she read it meticulously and ignored the time.
After turning two pages, she suddenly remembered something. "Demi, I need you to go to the castle
and pick up Cali and the kids. Take my car. Bring more bodyguards. Don''t make any more mistakes."
"Right away." Demi stood up and left. She was in such a rush that she left her bag on the coffee table.
Demi got into Vicente''s car and told the driver to head to the castle. The entire trip, she kept silent and
just stared out the window.
Not for long, the car pulled over outside the castle. Before Demi got out of the car, she said to the
driver, "Kody, Count Nangong said that in order to ensure the safety of the children, we will split into
two groups. You drive an empty car back to the hospital with the bodyguards'' cars following you. Cali
and I will take the children in another car.
A lot of dangerous people are watching Count Nangong''s every move. We must be careful." She then
unfastened her seat belt and slid out of the car.
The driver, Kody Xu, nodded and said, "Got it."
"See you at the hospital." Demi turned around and made her way into the castle. The high-noon
sunshine lit up her wantonly smiling face.
